People, for ics on x8 needs very hardly work and luck. Because many things. We now with custom kernel(182mb ram) don't have enough memory for fully experience 2.3.7 Rom. And processor?....If you think real,best for x8 is fully working froyo and froyo kernel.
[XPERIA X8 General] n1kolaa:
beter is 2.3.7 :)
[XPERIA X8 General] milenkokg:
Or that,better to have something fully working and not part of some Rom
[XPERIA X8 General] attack11:
froyo its most stable and great performance but 2.3.7 its has more features ... and its becoming most stable and fast lately...

I hope you cant make it XperiaFan13 !!!!

sorry my bad english!

there is similar thread like this in Q&A section .
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
I am 100% agree with you. Even I think so.

Our X8's Hardware is almost perfect for FROYO not gingerbread and ICS.

Most of Users Overclock their X8 while using Gingerbread ROMs because X8's CPU is only 600 MHZ which is a small clock speed for Gingerbread. Also overclocking is HARMFUL to processor.

In FROYO roms there is no need of Overclocking as it runs smoothly even on 600MHZ.

And also use tweaks for more free RAM in Gingerbread ROMS and hardly they get

approx. 95MB FREE in Custom KERNEL using TASK KILLER

approx. 80MB RREE in STOCK KERNEL using TASK KILLER.

And in FROYO ROMS with STOCK KERNEL without task Killer 75MB free and by using task killer 110 MB free.

AND I THINK on FROYO custom Kernel it will have 120 MB free which will be best for our X8.

NOTE:- ICS on X8 will be just like WINDOWS 7 running on 256MB RAM and 1GHZ processor.
[XPERIA X8 General] mondrup:
I'd very much love to see ICS running on our X8's, but at the same time I'm in serious doubt about if it can be done or not - taking our awesome dev's in consideration, of course. We(our beloved developers) have achived alot for such a small phone, though I must say, this is where the road for our X8 must come to an end. Simply 'cause the hardware is insufficient for the software to run on it.. But there's alot more things that needs to be taken in consideration, than the single aspect that I looked at.

I don't want to disbelief, so I don't - but I doubt it, and admit that the X8 is near the very end when talking about software upgrades..
[XPERIA X8 General] Papun:
I agree with you 100%
[XPERIA X8 General] jahlovePL:
@to all - it's not about processor, but memory
[XPERIA X8 General] kumarv:
You know what Windows 7 has 32 bit version,

ICS can be reduced to full fill X8 requirements.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
You can't even install windows 7 on 256 ram, you need at least 512 :D

I think that with some tweaks and some useless parts taken off, ICS will be able to run on X8 like gingerbread does. Plus, their requierments are the same...
[XPERIA X8 General] neo_na:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think any new android OS can be ported to whatever device you want. Like some people have said above, you've got to scrap functions that require high processor power and more RAM and other hardware power which X8 doesn't have. It can be ported in a way that it will run optimized for X8 hardware.

Google drops devices from upgrades is because it won't give consumers a new reason to buy a new phone if they offer upgrades to all available android devices (or it maybe the hardware manufacturer dropping the device from upgrades) As you all know, it would have been totally ok to give X8 an official froyo upgrade, but sony ericsson dropped X8 with 2.1 eclair.

When it comes to porting CM versions also, the same thing applies, they prefer to drop devices when it gets too old and focus on newer devices.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
Alright guys, I'm going to make a View and Flyer batch script that does basic things such as reboots you into recovery, bootloader, RUU, etc. Flashes RUU zips (for the ones such as the HC S-off), runs revolutionary (you will have to provide your own beta key for it *note, this process can take a few tries*), and possibly more stuff as I go along. I have advanced experience in batch so I wouldn't mind hearing some ideas on what you guys want. :)

Download Link:

RC1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Evo Tab supertool.zip

Instructions: Just navigate through the menus and choose what you want to do. If you are going to flash an RUU or Splash be sure to put it into the correct folder and have it named right. Also don't forget to clean out your device files afterwards (RUU's and Splash images)

Features:

Auto-checks Device

Easy to use UI

Flashes Splash images

Flashes RUU's

Reboot menu (Recovery, Fastboot, RUU, Android)

Installs Fastboot / ADB drivers

Able to run revolutionary

Recovery installer (Flyer and View and features Honeycomb and Gingerbread recoveries for each.)

Future Features (Hopefully):

Install new bootanimations in "Device Start Mod" menu (also move splash images to this menu)

Any other suggestions.

I will make it a bit more advanced later on but right now, it's a good collection of things.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cpt_shawky:
Hello everybody,

I have been trying my Galaxy Note for weeks in airplane at high altitudes/high speeds, till now I couldn't figure out when & how to use the Galaxy Note GPS as a reliable equipment as for unknown reasons to me it gets locked to satellites inflight randomly this could happens sometimes immediately & other times takes hours with no signal or 3 satellites at most, even when its locked to satellites it keeps working fine but if close GPS for 1 minute it couldn't come back to life again, one time I tried it locked already from ground before take-off and it kept working fine the whole flight as i didn't turn it off. I'm starting to develop a pattern on how to get a signal faster while in airplane and it seems to me holding the Galaxy Note like an LNB for satellite antennas helps you to get it locked faster I can't confirm this even its just an idea.

I hope some body can figure out why the Galaxy Note GPS acting like this inflight. Also if any one have some software that can let me send the GPS NMEA data I could use that to see my position on any windows map software like Google earth or aviation software like Jeppesn Flite star/JeppView

Here is some pictures for my randomly successful trials
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tg9413:
not an expert on this. but sometimes if the device have satellite data cached while it has data access, it will lock on faster.

Back in my galaxy s days, the a common fix to resolve the crappy gps issue was to clear agps data and force the phone to get a new set of data from google's server.

Not sure if that's what cause your problem tho...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeremy.chan:
slow fix when in flight is possibly due to the speed you're doing at that point, it's going to be tough getting a fix when going that fast (coming from a cold lock)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lucid:
From your pictures I gather you are a pilot as well :)

If you have a decent fix before takeoff, and you have your Note

stuck to the sidewindow, you should retain your fix.

As soon as you take it away from the window you

start loosing your fix fast. Reobtaining the fix will get harder and harder.

This behaviour is least noticable at ground level, most noticable with increased

speeds and altitudes.

Just stick it low on a side window in a mount, should keep working.

BTW : What the name of the app there ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mogambo000:
Off topic but what plane were you flying?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cpt_shawky:
The interesting is that I had many cheaper Nokia around me on the same flights and all of them got GPS locked in less than a minute without any concerns how you hold the device just put it facing the windows nothing more so its unbelievable to have the latest Samsung state of the art Galaxy Note with such GPS unreliable performance, you can also notice in pic no. 5 the speed is only 180 km/h which is totally error.

The programs: GPS STATUS & GPS TEST

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lucid:
Wow, I never owned a Nokia with GPS, but that is amazing!

I've seen many pax and crew struggle to get GPS fixed, no matter where they are in flight. Maybe Nokia's are just really good at highspeed/alt. fixing. (commercial jets)

From old "serial" GPS , to bluetooth mouse GPS, to internal (a)gps, it has always been a struggle at highspeed/alt.

Then again, stuff I fly rarely exceeds 200knots/20.000 feet so I'm all good up there :)

PM sent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AngelDeath:
I was sent this post in a PM, dont know why maybe to help explain, or offer my gps fix, honestly dont know. But after reading this, here are some reasons why you might be havng this issue:

Phones put the antenna (gps) in different places, holding it sometimes blocks the signal or weakens it (Yes the signal and antenna is that weak).

Speed plays a factor, inflight will take longer then before.

Time of day, sats remember are not in the same position all the time.

Warm lock opposed to a cold lock, Hard lock opposed to a soft lock.

And who makes the gps chip.

There are many factors when it comes to gps signals.

Ok so some background, I am running the newest molten and enjoying it thouroughly but just noticed that when i open terminal emulator and type SU to get root access in the terminal it says permission denied and most other commands return same error, i downloaded a differant terminal emulator that checks for the su.bin and it shows no su binary is installed yet when i goto the directory system/bin/ in es file explorer su is indeed there?

Could someone please tell me why none of the terminal emulators are finding the superuser binary? I ve already tried opening superuser app and updating the su binary (it did update and i rebooted after) but it hasnt helped, I also read on other forums that there are multiple su binaries on some phones? could this be the problem and if so where would i find the right binaries?

It just seams odd that terminal emulator would be included in the build if it is completly unusable
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
su then hit enter :)
[Motorola Droid X2] brilock42:
lol, thanks, im not the smartest with linux commands but i know to hit enter.

I tried typing su and hitting enter in 3 differant terminal emulators but keep getting permission denied in all of them
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
You should get a super user request once you hit enter. Maybe permission was already denied. Try clearing defaults for su.
[Motorola Droid X2] miffy4:
Did you recent apply the 2.3.5 update? When I went from rooted 234 to 235 I lost root privileges even though the superuser app was still there.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Could be your root isnt quite right. What setup do you have. Also try going into your superuser application and see if they are on the not allowed list.

Also should go from a "$" to a "#" sign after you hit enter if su took.
[Motorola Droid X2] brilock42:
thanks for the ideas, that really narrowed it down, i cleared data for superuser and terminal, reinstalled terminal, still didnt work.....then i realised im a idiot, my keyboards autocap was on and su has to be "su" not "SU"

lol well thanks again for all the help

i see that there's a thread for the oem charger kit, but not for the battery itself. so anyway, i just called tmo tech support and told them that i have been having very inconsistent battery life. say today i unplugged after reaching 100%, then 6-7hrs later after waking up-i only have 69% left. it's been happening every other day now, and i purposely exit all active apps and clear the ram before unplugging, but still the same problem.

anyway, tmo is sending me a new battery for the sgs2 for free because i am still under the 90 battery warranty period. i do have to pay $11.99 for ups express shipping though, $7.99 for usps. AND i get to keep the current battery as well, so not bad for $11.99 and a new battery.

also, i'm on 2.3.6, rooted with some bloats removed/freezed, stock rom, with juice defender running, email sync is only at 4hrs. anybody have any idea on why my phone is acting like this? i know i'm not the only one with the problem, but any tips or comments are welcome. TIA.

i've checked tmo's website, but couldn't find the battery for sale, so this is fyi only.

I called them several times and none of the reps was willing to give me a free battery.

I told them about bad/inconsistent battery life. They told me I needed to call from a separate phone so they check my battery or something on my phone. They also said there would be a $20 service fee even if im under my 90 warranty period...

They also told me to just go back to the store and get a replacement phone...but no car so that's a no go.

So what EXACTLY do you guys say to get the free battery?! or did they just change the rules on that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Muff Burner:
If you're within the 14 day period they will make you exchange the device. If you call asking for a "free" anything they're gonna deny you.

#1 always say you're calling from a different phone, even if you're not.

#2 always be courteous, appear to be calm yet bothered.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chrischoi:
Just like my signature says... I'm not speaking on behalf of anyone or tricking anyone... These are my personal opinions.

This is 100% true.

You won't get denied. It depends on the reason. If it's past the 14 days and it's a legitimate battery issue... you "kind of" get a free battery... Above post stating USPS and UPS is what you will be responsible for. The correct thing to do is they will have to at least on a minimum do a full reset. If it's still having the issue go back and they can more than likely just put the battery order through for you. Some reps may even do the battery as the first step. Depends on who you get.

You could get away with it. They may ask you to do a hard reset. I recommend taking the time and just visiting the store. Store reps are easier to deal with.

I personally am anyway.

This can be read like a book. Being polite will get you further. Stay calm. It's not Care or the Reps fault you may have received a faulty battery. I'm sure most of "us" as in Smart Phone users know that battery life was never that great. The more you use it the faster it dies. You "know" what you got yourself into. Don't yell at them because the phone doesn't have the battery life of a Samsung T139.

This really gets annoying. See above. You know what you got yourself into. If you are legitimately having issues... yes. It is unacceptable... But just because you want a spare. You may be caught and denied. The reps are here to keep you as a customer and keep you satisfied. Don't try to be deceiving... it's counter productive.

It really depends on who you talk to and how knowledgeable they are. It's not some mathematical system that you keep repeating the word unacceptable and appear to be bothered that you get a battery.

So there is no right way. The best thing is just be honest. It's really if you need it or not and who you talk to.

After 14 days... if you are having issues, just go to the store. Bad battery? Just let the rep know. They should be able to figure it out. You'll be responsible for shipping.
